The Rants Macabre

Fully exhausted by recent events Darren & Mindy move through the Hammer film Woman in Black (2012), Fear the Walking Dead, and the AMC's Preacher. Also Darren would advise that you skip Helions, and The Final Girl. Not "The Final Girls" -that is a great movie we've already covered, and Women In Caskets recently dug into on their 32nd episode.

"Horror, on line 2. You're on." Mindy & Darren take to the airwaves to bring you horror! It turns out some genre favorites revolve around the radio dial. Pontypool (2008), The Booth (2005), Welcome to Nightvale podcast, and John Carpenter's The Fog.

And also, welcome W-DIX's own D-Bag & the Minge.

We watched and compared notes for the fantastic Austrian film Goodnight Mommy (2014), and then the thriller documentary Welcome to Leith (2015)! Lastly Darren watched Ava's Possessions (2015)... and disappointed.

On behalf of Norman Bates, we wish you a Happy Mother's Day! We spend some time at the Bates Motel loving and analyzing Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 horror classic, Psycho.

When fact is stranger than fiction, and fear is something we all have in common, we bring you Documentary Horror. Covering a number of styles, we analyze Cropsey, The Galapagos Affair, and The Nightmare. With a few honorable mentions: Brother's Keeper, and Jesus Camp.

We took our mics and recorder out for some fresh air. Recording outdoors to talk the sci-fi horror Circle, then Mike Flanagan's new Netflix film, Hush, and we have an interview with Alex J Mann, the writer/director of the Snapchat movie 3 Seconds. Also we cover the details of @SaveHorror's March Madness challenge between some podcasting colleagues. Check out Miskatonic Musings + The Girls in the Back Row + Women in Caskets.

Check out 3 Seconds here.

We compare and contrast two classic sci-fi horror film adaptations: The Fly from 1958, starring Vincent Price, and David Cronenberg's 1986 film with Jeff Goldblum.

Jeremy Saulnier's hardcore punk survival story Green Room is an impressive work. Honest and brutal, with perfectly plotted cinematography, the scares and shocking moments are concussively impactful. Green Room is out Friday, April 15th in New York, and LA and nationwide April 29th.

Mindy received her copy of Ice Cream Man so we watched it. Yup, it's the bizarre collaboration between Clint Howard and a prolific porn director. We cover The Walking Dead Season 6 finale, do some catching up, and talk music. Apophenia is out now on the FANGORIA MUSICK site, on iTunes.

Joining us for this deep cut into the works of Roman Polanski is Keith from SaveHorror.com. Co-hosting while Mindy is away, he shares some favorite correlations between Repulsion (1965), and the classic Rosemary's Baby (1968). We follow the arc of the two classic horror icons, Carol & Rosemary through the psychological trials they're put through.

Darren's Fangoria Musick label album Apophenia is out now. On iTunes and on the Fangoria Musick site for 3 bucks! Support the show!
